Housekeeping Schedule (or my lack thereof...)

Barbara Billingsley as June Cleaver: the mother
of all housewives...

One thing that I have been looking for and am having trouble finding is a housekeeping guide.  Although I have been married for going on 7 years now, and have been the sole "housekeeper" for our home, I have never (ever) had a schedule.  I've always just done things as I saw the need.  The biggest reason for my lack of structured housekeeping was due to my finishing college.  As a full-time student--and later--full-time graduate student, housework was low on my list of priorities.  Even if I had tried to adhere to a schedule, I'm sure it never would have worked because the life of a student is somewhat unpredictable: one has to study when one must--regardless of anything else.  So even if I had made a schedule, it would have probably fallen through on the first day because some other (student-related) task would have taken priority.  And I'm also confident in saying that when I did have the opportunity to simply do whatever I pleased, (i.e. in my "free" time), I'm positive that cleaning the closet or ironing the clothes would definitely NOT have been on the top of my "to do" list.   

This isn't to say that I've never cared about the presentation of my home.  I have actually always been very self-conscious of the--shall we say--state of our living quarters.  I'm the housekeeper who spazzes-out when she finds out that (surprise!) the in-laws have just pulled into the driveway.  I like for things to be as I envision they should, and I suppose my love for all things 50s greatly influences my concept of what a home should look like. (Just picture any interior home scene from Leave It To Beaver, and you are looking at my idea of a perfectly-kept home.)  It hasn't been until recently that realizing and maintaining my Leave It To Beaver housekeeping objective has even become a realistic possibility.  Or is it even realistic??  (After all: June Cleaver-- in actuality--had a bunch of stage hands that did all the housework for her...)

I really have no current excuse for not having an immaculately-kept home as we have no children, and I do not work.  But how does one go about putting together a housekeeping schedule? My thinking is if I want a Leave It To Beaver house, I need to be a real-life June Cleaver and keep house as was done in that time period; thus my search for a retro-housekeeping guide.

I have put together a basic schedule (which I still yet have to implement...) which is as follows:

Monday	Tuesday	Wednesday	Thursday	Friday
Everyday Chores: ·         Do dishes ·         Sweep ·         Vacuum rugs ·         Make bed	Everyday Chores: ·         Do dishes ·         Sweep ·         Vacuum rugs ·         Make bed	Everyday Chores: ·         Do dishes ·         Sweep ·         Vacuum rugs ·         Make bed	Everyday Chores: ·         Do dishes ·         Sweep ·         Vacuum rugs ·         Make bed	Everyday Chores: ·         Do dishes ·         Sweep ·         Vacuum rugs ·         Make bed

However, I'm thinking that it would be nice to have some guidance, because achieving my "Leave It To Beaver" house is my new objective.  Any advice or suggestions would be appreciated!
